"Renu is a compassionate healer, with clairvoyant vision and practical methods. Her energy work and Akashic Record readings helped me through a rough patch. Conducting sessions remotely with zoom was very effective. I was amazed at Renu's ability to connect and communicate her insightful visions during those sessions. They helped to solidify some of my own thoughts, to let go of negative energy, and to embrace the joy of this moment.
Thank you, Renu!"

"A physical therapist once informed me that I had spinal stenosis. I did not question this diagnosis because my mother had spinal stenosis. As she aged, the pain shooting down her legs as she walked eventually forced her into a wheelchair. When I began to experience significant pain radiating from my waist down my right leg, I naturally assumed it was from spinal stenosis. So imagine my surprise when Renu told me that the pain I was experiencing was from past life trauma, not spinal stenosis! 3 sessions with Renu ended the pain I had been experiencing for over 10 years! Renu’s healing gifts are life changing!"

"I had been going to see Renu for her craniosacral therapy initially. Her unique combo of this therapy with her physical therapy expertise in the musculoskeletal structures was unlike anything I had tried before. During the very first session, I felt my shoulders unwinding and flattening against the table. I stood so much straighter and the pain was gone. It was simply amazing!
As her repertoire expanded to include the reiki and acupressure, I felt that she was able to address different and more issues. My healing and releasing kept getting faster and faster. My lifestyle, however, required me to go regularly for maintenance, providing weekly relief but also so that she could address more issues.
However, once she started going into the Akashic Records for me, I have found the healing to be so much faster and it is complete - through the grace and healing power of the Record Keepers guiding her in using her big tool bag of healing methods and knowledge of the musculoskeletal structure. Much like a hammer cannot be used in every situation, neither can any of the modalities alone. Renu's fluidity among these methods allows her to weave them together specifically for my specific mental, physical and emotional needs in that moment.
Complete healing depends on the deepness of the issue as we are like onions with many layers, but I am learning that if I ask the right questions, the Record Keepers will go straight the root of the problem and clear it...drastically propelling my spiritual journey and providing insights to help me change my life for the better. If you want profound healing that lasts for longer than a few hours, go see Renu at Embrace Therapy.
Thank you so much for sharing your gift of healing with me!"

“I came to see Renu Cheng after years of suffering with chronic back and neck pain. It is not very often that you find a practitioner that wants to understand your needs as a patient. She took the time to examine me and provide me with a comprehensive plan that provided me with strategies I could incorporate into my day (i.e. adjust the rearview mirror in my car to encourage me to attain better posture). She incorporated kinesio taping into my treatment plan which seemed to reduce my pain by stretching out the muscles and also helped to provide me with some additional cues to adjust my posture during my daily routines.”

"Dear Renu,
We were incredibly fortunate to have been a part of Embrace Therapy – and to have been treated by you. We are so happy we added weekly sessions with you to supplement our son’s Early Intervention therapies.
We greatly appreciated how you formed a relationship with our son…so much so that he loved coming to see you! You made his therapy fun and engaging. His progress was a tribute to your skills, personality, and passion.
You also made us feel like part of the team through your unique ability to involve us and educate us during his sessions. We always enjoyed the “homework” and felt it made a big impact in his progress as well. You taught us so much!
Thank you for introducing us to kinesio taping. We really appreciate the time you took to explain the process and show us how it worked. We were very happy to have a treatment that worked with him instead of using an external device.
We also were impressed with the Embrace Therapy space – we always felt welcome and appreciated how it was private and without any distractions.
We cannot say enough good things about you – and Embrace Therapy. Your care, compassion, and commitment to our sons progress are the reasons why recommend you to everyone!
We cannot thank you enough!
Sincerely,
K & A"

“Since the end of February my ITB and hamstring were on the fritz from a 20mile trail race. After resting for two weeks the irritation was still looming and my upcoming marathon was fast approaching: Shamrock Marathon, Virginia Beach.
Renu suggested using Kinesio Tape to help reduce swelling and to take some strain off the lateral femoral condyle (aka muscles/ligaments running along side of the knee). The morning after being taped there was a noticeable difference. My fatigued feeling legs from months of long distance training felt energized and I ran without favoring the uninjured leg. Going into the race, I didn’t really have any expectations given the circumstances (weekly mileage was reduced to a total of 15 miles in 3 weeks). If I had to drop out I would but I would try my best to get to that finish line.
Feeling good and no issues with my ITB or hammies, I gradually picked up the pace and finished ahead of what I thought was possible. Marathon #2 complete!
Thank you so much Renu for helping me get through my marathon this weekend!”

“While I was pregnant with my first child I experienced severe sciatic nerve pain. The pain kept me up at night, made it difficult to sit for extended periods of time, and often even made it difficult to walk.
Being a very physically active person, I was even more frustrated as the pain essentially brought my regular exercise routine to a screeching halt. All of the stretching and other suggestions my doctor provided did little to nothing so I decided to investigate other avenues to help with this agony.
I stopped in to see Renu and she recommended Kinesio Tape along with some other stretches and exercises I had not tried. After the first day or two of her treatment I already began to feel better. A few days after that my pain was almost completely gone and I was able to return to my regular routine. The treatment Renu provides is truly life changing!”

“Renu Cheng is a gifted, insightful energy healer and Akashic reader who brings integrity and compassion to every session. Her unique approach combines energy healing with an exploration of the Akashic records, leading to beneficial change. In sessions with Renu, I experienced the clearing of a chronic physical issue and gained an understanding of the root cause. As a Reiki practitioner myself, I am in awe of Renu's ability and dedication. She is one of the most caring, effective spiritual healers and counselors that I have ever encountered.”

“After a few weeks of travel and lots of sitting, a knot in my hamstring had gotten so tight that my leg ached constantly and became a distraction. I did my best with daily sessions of stretching, foam rolling, and pushing on pressure points and could find short term relief, but once I sat for a few minutes, the muscle spasms returned again and the discomfort creeped back in.
Fortunately, I met up with Renu Cheng in the last week of my trip. She has a gentle spirit but a tenacious commitment to making sure her patients get better. After working and working and working out the kinks in my left hamstring, Renu offered Kinesio Tape. I am so glad she did; her carefully taped work kept my leg pain from returning, even after I had to remove the tape and continued the activities (flying and driving) that started the discomfort. Thank you, Renu!”

“My pre-teen daughter had been experiencing chronic leg and hip pain due to her rapid growth spurts. Not only was it affecting her ability to do sports, but worse, it was disrupting her sleep. I would try to massage and stretch her, but she was much too sensitive to any type of pressure because she was just so tight. Renu suggested craniosacral therapy to help release the over-stretched muscles with using only a light touch. My daughter felt immediate relief from the first session and was more than happy to continue with the therapy. I'm happy to say that the effects have been long-lasting, her pain level was managed well during that time (she grew over 4 inches that year!), her mood is better and her sleep has improved. Thank you, Renu!”

“We are the parents of a 10-month old baby girl who showed developmental delays in motor skills. We were referred by a physical therapist at Atlantic healthcare to Renu for physiotherapy.
Renu has been the hope that our family needed. The results we achieved through Renu’s help were amazing and beyond our expectations. Our doctor was surprised to see our daughter’s progress that Renu was able to deliver. Her approach is creative, friendly and result oriented. She has a million exercises planned ahead.
If our child has difficulty with one (or seems to dislike doing it), Renu always has an alternative. She will never let the baby cry, in fact, our baby smiles as soon as she sees her. Every session has brought visible improvements to what our baby manages to do.
Renu is a patient teacher of parents. She guides us through each step of each exercise until we get it right. She tells us which muscles are working and how the baby’s positioning should be and how to help the baby encounter success. This has enabled us to work wonders with our baby. We got our baby Kinesio-Taped and, God it helps! After Renu taped her she could do exercises which she was either struggling with or couldn’t do 10 minutes ago. This has really built the baby’s confidence—it is plain to see.
Renu is not only an awesome therapist for the baby but for parents as well. She is so full of positive thinking. There have been days when we went to her completely disheartened but walked out full of hope. We cannot recommend her enough.
Thank you, Renu.”
